Burelage ((フランス語:burelage)),〔"Burelage" and "burelé" are used to describe the 50 francs ''View of Paris'' stamp in Dallay catalogue, 2007-2008, page 183.〕 also burelé, is a French term referring to an intricate network of fine lines, dots or other designs printed over or as the background of some postage or revenue stamps to prevent counterfeiting.〔R. Scott Carleton, ''The International Encyclopædic Dictionary of Philately,'' Iola, Wisconsin (1997), p. 39.〕〔L.N. Williams, ''Fundamentals of Philately,'' State College, Pennsylvania (1990), p. 57.〕 In English the word is sometimes spelled with an accent on the first "e" as burélage, although the accent does not appear in the French spelling and its origin is unclear.〔See Talk:Burelage.〕 Burelage most commonly appears as a form of underprinting. Early uses of burelage on postage stamps include the first issue of the stamps of Denmark from 1851,〔Scott Catalogue, Denmark, nos. 1-2 and note.〕 and stamps issued by the City of Hanover beginning in 1855.〔Scott Catalogue, German States, Hanover, no. 8 and note.〕 Stamp varieties may be distinguished in catalogs based on the presence or absence of burelage as well as variations in the burelage itself, such as the size of network,〔Scott Catalogue, German States, Hanover, nos. 8-14, referencing fine versus large network.〕 orientation on the stamp,〔Scott Catalogue, Mexico, nos. 1109-1138, distinguishing between two types of burelage based on whether they run lower left to upper right or vice versa〕 color,〔Scott Catalogue, Denmark, nos. 1-2 (original burelage in yellow brown; later reprints in brown).〕 or method of printing.〔Scott Catalogue, Denmark, nos. 1-2 note (first printing from copper plate (printed ); later printing typographed).〕 Although burelage is usually unobtrusive, some of the Mexico Exporta stamps (see below) were printed with burelage printed over the stamp which is dark enough to obscure the stamp image. ==Examples of burelage== File:Stamp Danish West Indies 1866 3c.jpg| Danish West Indies stamp, 1866, with wavy burelage visible on margins and corners File:Rusconsularstamp.jpg| Russian consular stamp File:Yugoslavia3+2din1945.jpg| Serbian stamp, 1945, with Yugoslavian overprint File:Exporta Cotton.jpg|Mexico Exporta stamp, 1992, with gray burelage printed on stamp 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Burelage」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
